Formula One is racing back onto consoles in the latest version of this Codemasters classic.

F1 2016 brings new teams, new tracks, new Formula One stars and plenty of racy new features to next-gen consoles.

All these updates have made this the most realistic F1 experience yet.

The already fabulous graphics are now even better and there’s a garage load of new options which makes playing F1 2016 like joining Bernie Ecclestone’s circus for real.

Perhaps this biggest change to this latest reboot is the all-new career mode.

This update allows gamers to join one of the teams and see is they can become an F1 legend.

Not only can you now use your own name but you can also choose your number and design your own crash helmet for the season ahead.

You’ll then be introduced to your Engineer and Agent in the brand new hospitality area.

These guys will help guide you throughout your career helping you spend your valuable Research and Development points and advising you on any potential team moves, contract changes and your performance within the team.

If you drive well you’ll get a seat for next season but spend too much time in the slow lane and you may find yourself without a set of wheels.

The career mode is an excellent addition although you’ll need to invest a huge amount of time if you want to be become top dog in your team.

Some of the graphics in the hospitality areas also look a bit amateur and, at times, it’s hard to take this part of the game seriously.

Luckily things improve massively when you hit the road where you’ll be treated to some glorious visuals with all the tracks looking better than ever.

The game plays well and F1 fans can add and remove assists to make racing easy or more difficult than a romantic dinner between Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton.

As well as being the best F1 game to look at there’s also better options to change your race strategy and a much easier way to manage all the settings on your car, you can even see all the tyre, brake and engine temperatures change as you hit the brakes and speed around the circuit.

Roaring off the grid has also been improved with drivers now having to master releasing the clutch at exactly the right time for the ultimate start and the safety car returns to add even more excitement to race day.

On the road battles are also improved with the competition even tougher to pass.

There's also great emphasis on your driver and the engineers back in the pits as they communicate information to you throughout a race.
